[HECnet] User mode DECnet for Linux

[Mark Wickens]

Ah this is a shame - I would have thought that given the maturity of the 
code maintaining maybe wasn't so much a technical as a time consuming 
occupation?
I wonder if we have the resources in the HECnet community to keep this 
going? Has this subject come up before and passed me by?

Are there any other unix alternative other than Digital Unix/tru64?

Cheers, Mark.
